That actually sounds fairly plausible. Except that he waited a few years to disappear. Maybe she'll believe him and just start using his expertise to catch her serial. What could go wrong.

Note how the podcaster said "they think the [Bay Harbor Butcher] was a fellow cop," as opposed to y'know, acknowledging that the case was closed and no one but a random bench suspected otherwise? Dexter is going to have more than his name revealed.

Holy poo poo I am loving this. ANHEEEELLLLLLLL! "She died, real hosed up situation. Her brother too, tragic really. He had a little son, what was his name? uhhh, oh yeah, Harrison cute kid. The guy's name was Dexter, Dexter Morgan. I remember we'd have these talks at lunch time and he'd say "Angel, if I were to ever fake my death and run away, I would change my name to Jim Lindsey. I will be a lumberjack for a while, and then I will work in a gun store. I will also date the chief of police in whatever town I end up in." I always thought it was weird that he would tell me that every day at lunch, but that was Dexter. I think I have a picture of him, yeah this is him, and every year I use the crime computer to age up this photo to imagine what he'd look like now, were he still alive somewhere, here's that photo. You can keep those."

Diabolik900 posted:It was this sequence when I finally truly felt like the show was back. Yep, absolutely. I also like that Lithgow theory. That would just be a flat-out fun time and a great way to bring him back, and it seems right up Dexter's alley. I'd love a few quick flashbacks that show Harrison was taking a Dexter pause and listening to Trinity during some of the scenes we've seen, or showing that going down when he cut up the "school shooter."

Pretty good ep. The Harrison on drugs sequence was cool. Lol at anhel revealing so much info for no reason at all. His TED talk was awful too! "Once we realized they all were accused criminals it all came together. Anyway I have no insight into how we made that connection. Questions?"

Dexter is going to have more than his name revealed. She's a podcaster, she squeezes out every last drop of content. Also Dexter was never technically never a cop, just a CSI. Cops *can* be CSI, but I seriously doubt Dex went to police academy/training. This season really seems like a weird experiment and I feel like I know most of what is going to happen but have zero clue how it could end, assuming they really aren't going to do another season or spinoff. IIRC they said it would make up for the lumberjack ending and be a proper one that fans would like? This season has definitely piqued my interest for a new kind of Dexter, it's definitely a fresh take. All-in-all, I'll say a couple things. These are mainly observations, not necessarily things I like or dislike. First, the show doesn't really feel like the original Dexter. The location is different, the characters are diff, the conceit is diff (Dexter isn't really sticking to the code, so he's not exactly a serial-killing serial-killer anymore), the music is diff, and the way it's shot is different too. There is A LOT of stuff missing that kinda defined the show. Besides the actual plot, along with some actors: Dex + Deb + cameo, there is not much linking it to the original. Secondly, when they do make references to the original (Dex making breakfast, subtle musical nods, using inner-monologue) it is very subtle and not over-used/focused on. Third, there's a lot of very weird elements thrown in. Deb being the ghost and constantly making GBS threads on Dex is great but then there's also these cartoonish moments. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's never happened in a previous season right? Where the ghost seemingly has a more physical presence? I doubt there will be an explanation or if it even needs one. Hoping to see Deb drop an acme anvil on Dexter's head. My prediction is that Angela will actually make-up excuses for Dexter, like "omg u think the Trinity Killer is still out there?? They said another cop might have been involved, is that why you ran? You sent Harrison away to keep him safe?" and Dex will say "yep, pretty much." Angela will be too pre-occupied with both Matt's disappearance and the missing girls to give it thought. Angela kicks into overdrive when she finds out Lily (green-haired girl) went missing. She asks Dex for help, he channels ghost Deb to piece together the mysteries. Dex and Angela both realize there is a serial-killer in Iron Lake. Meanwhile, Harrison and Caldwell are bonding? Caldwell ends up kidnapping Angela's daughter Audrey. The rich-dude who hates Aubrey (is he the mayor?) is involved somehow, he taught Caldwell? Hunting down Caldwell (and the mayor?) becomes a father/son bonding experience. Audrey catches Dex/Harrison in the act but is conflicted because Dexter helped save Audrey and solved what happened to the missing girls. She also knows he's the bay harbor butcher and tells Harrison to get away from Dexter..... Harrison..... loving KILLS ANGELA. FADE TO BLACK. DEXTER: NEW BLOOD.

No, I mean, as far as the record is concerned, Doakes was the Butcher, and she phrased it as if the case was never closed. Either the writers forgot that little detail, or she's actively investigating that case.

When Logan showed up in the car I assumed it was him scouting out the house to get some details before they sent in small-town SWAT, they typically get at least a rudimentary feel for stuff like how many doors and windows, number of cars in the driveway and other stuff like that, so Dexter probably knew he had some time before the raid happened.

Good week for Good Harrison theorists. How many times does Dexter need to tell you Harrison is just like him before the swerve that he isn't becomes clear? Lot of y'all falling for old p.i. tricks and I'm embarrassed for you. Also the best part of Dexter this week was him apparently having knowledge of and access to personal photos of everyone who O.D.'d on fentanyl in the county for his wall of shame. In my heart there's a deleted scene of him sitting at the police department photocopying photos from old case files. Edit: the Lithgow cameo will be from Harrison's perspective during his confrontation with the school shooter and will be Trinity telling him to let the kid go through with it.

Dexter going after dealers in broad daylight. Anything related to the podcaster. Is this the first time Dexter (or anyone else) viewed what Harry did as "child abuse"? On the one hand, it's about time. On the other... why now?

I'm the computer where you can type in two words, presumably 'Dexter Morgan', and push alt-f9 to print out a single slice newspaper obituary. Honestly I am just disappointed it didn't flash a big red 'your boyfriend is dexter morgan' at her on the screen, but maybe we just didn't get to see it.
